Messages of Congratulations
 Congratulations to THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine, as you celebrate 30
years of helping African-American students rise to success! Your magazine is a
powerful resource to encourage students to strive for excellence in their
education and career. Education was vital in my life and enabled all of my
dreams to come true. One of my inspirations was a wise man named Solomon, who once
said, “Gold is nice, silver is nice, rubies are nice. But to be cherished far above those are knowledge, wisdom and
understanding,” because Solomon knew that with knowledge, wisdom and
understanding, you will come to understand that the gold, silver, and rubies are
not really important in the Big Picture (of life).
It’s
far more important to develop your mind and your God-given talents to the point
where you become valuable to the people around you. Remember, education helps us understand the past, cope with
our present, and determine our future. Best
wishes to THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine, as you continue to direct our
youth toward the right path in life.

CONGRATULATIONS!
 THE
BLACK COLLEGIAN’s 30th anniversary is indeed a reason to celebrate. The
publication provides resources to Black collegians and all people of color with an entry
into the world of careers,
graduate and
professional schools, internships,
and study abroad programs.
With an impressive distribution of over 800 campuses
throughout the nation, THE BLACK COLLEGIAN
serves as an example of the best of what our city has to offer. The
publication has commentary by leading African-American writers and information
on college life.
THE
BLACK COLLEGIAN reminds us that New Orleans is a city hard-at-work and
hard-at-play, a city with many faces and cultures.
